Yes and so can I. I can also set the governor with a script or manually. They kernel for the GTab has 2 settings....performance and powersave... and as far as I know setcpu doesnt support the .32 kernel that GTab has. It does support the .36 kernel that the xoom has.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
I (one of the two mods) moved this into the General section where it should be. It had been in the Development section which wasn't the right place.

And thebadfrog is correct - we (as a community) benefit when everyone helps everyone out - including making sure posts are created in the right spot, and aren't just another variation on a question that might have been asked 15,245,332 times before.
[G Tablet General] coolestmage:
I apologise for posting in development. I wasn't even paying attention. Thank your for moving the thread for me.

[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
You need a kernel that supports overclocking and the GTab doesnt have one yet
[G Tablet General] grinch247:
wondering if the xoom setcpu profile would jive w/ our tablets?
[G Tablet General] Kayak83:
The gtbalet's benchmark is around 2,500. The overclocked Xoom got 2850. Standard Xoom @ 1Ghz got 2,150.

Am I missing something???? If the gtablet could be OC'd that would be huge.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
The profiles won't until the AOSP frequency scaling is imported into the kernel sources - and that's not an easy process. Then the kernel will have to be compiled, etc.

Yes - it'd be nice to be OC'd - but battery life would be affected. It's a tradeoff in many ways....
[G Tablet General] Kayak83:
On my OG Droid I like being able to drop the speed for battery savings when the screen is off if it's not in use. So there's more in it than just big numbers.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
Agreed - but you don't need to be OC'd to do that. You can use the existing SetCPU to setup a profile for that.

In addition, the way the scaling is setup by default in the kernel (ondemand) automatically does this scaling for you.
[G Tablet General] kodakeos:
I never have the right device!

Im gonna wait till the wifi only xoom comes out, but what are the odds the Gtab will get an OC?
[G Tablet General] miphonematt:
EDIT: Moderator already covered
[G Tablet General] Blades:
Well with a slightly modified pershoot defconfig, a patch to include/linux/swap.h, ipv6 off.. the 2.6.38-rc6 kernel compiles.. no wifi or anything like that. And it doesn't boot.. what does this mean? Nothing. I just wanted to see what would happen. Heh.. this kernel is supposed to run a tegra2. It has that much desired cpu-tegra.c too.. how far off is the gtab from the nvidia reference design? I have no clue. Where to begin and what am I doing? No clue
[G Tablet General] miphonematt:
Oh ya man, the digitizer, the panel and possibly the memory controller (for the internal storage) are all different most likely. Then on top of that, I think in the Android world, kernels are tied to the OS version in some way. That is very different from the Linux world where the kernel has nothing to do with the version of the distribution per se. I've never seen a Froyo kernel used for Gingerbread nor visa versa.

But I will say you are an awesome fellow for giving it a shot. That is exactly how new Devs are born (I don't know if you are a dev already or not), and sharing information, whether it be success or failure is always a good thing!
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Tell me what you need overclocking for. Seriously. The Gtab is blazing fast already with no lag. It will have overclocking at some point but why does it make it the wrong device because it doesnt have it right now.
[G Tablet General] rogersranch:
Cool, thanks for the heads up. I used to get FCs when trying to use SetCPU. But new version works great w/ Pershoots latest kernel
[G Tablet General] rogersranch:
Well for one, you can throttle the CPU to save battery, I do it on my motodroid all the time. Especially if I'm out for a long weekend camping.
[G Tablet General] miphonematt:
I'm sure he doesn't "need" the overclock. Probably just wants it for A) the Cool factor, and B) to fix any minor lag in some operation.

I own a Xoom as well, and so far the OC, while is cool to see the Linpack/Quadrant numbers (my Xoom actually scored lower than my gTab prior to the OC), the OC has caused some FCs and random reboot so far for me.
[G Tablet General] miphonematt:
I certainly hope you weren't saying this was a justification for needed the overclock, because there is absolutely no truth is overclocking saving ANY amount of battery. As stated before, you can use underclock profiles to save battery without an overclock. Now there are some Undervolt with Overclock frequency voltage layouts that even the playing field a little (meaning with an undervolted kernel frequency table, that the stock voltage and frequency is closer to being even with a slightly overclocked yet undervolted table).
[G Tablet General] jbirdvegas:
I would be willing to drain my battery
[G Tablet General] Dexter_nlb:
there is no governor in use, and correct, our kernels for early tegra2's are very much different on the topic of handling cpu's.

the new code even detects what models its supporting, just like the old code does, but the main difference is the old code, calculates the max freq by reading models and clk frequencies based on development board editions (p15 and p20) .. thats how far i got on this topic..

i managed ( i think to set it to 1500), but when its changed, it just gets to an early boot, i hard get to my adb , before it freezes..

so yes, code is not easy to adapt since their tegra2 code is very different and probably also a good reason why it will be less easy to adapt the new 2.6.36.3 to a android 3.0 environment.. sad, but i think alot more development and porting of code and drivers are needed.

ie. Toshiba seems to use an early adaption of drivers based on a ODM Kit Nvidia supplied developers with, but in the new edition is more generic and you implement drivers based on regular linux kernel models, not using their old way of handling their nvrm enviroment we know.

but i tried too, and so far failed on making a 1.5Ghz tablet of mine here :-(
[G Tablet General] P00r:
Ahh! thanks for the clarification (Dexter_nlb too!), I was wondering why the governor was showing zero in some app!
[G Tablet General] edirector:
I use a program called CPUboost. Overclocked now at 1300000. There are much higher settings but I don't want to venture too much into the unknown. If someone else wants to try let me know how it goes.
[G Tablet General] edirector:
CPUBoost app, get it.
[G Tablet General] babybacon:
it doesnt actually overclock because we dont have an overclock kernel also linpack doesnt change at all. it works to govern the speed but it cannot overclock.
[G Tablet General] adampdx:
I know it's early and I'm not really awake, but doesn't 1,300,000MHz equate to 13GHz? Why didn't I see this on Gizmodo...
[G Tablet General] kodakeos:
a: no - 1,300,000mhz is 1300ghz

b: 1,300,000 is in hz = 1.3ghz.

if your going to call someone out - get your insults right
[G Tablet General] jmdearras:
1,300,000Hz = 1.3Mhz

1,300,000,000Hz = 1.3Ghz

UNSUBSCRIBED. Are we done here?
[G Tablet General] TEK112:
This thread is full of fail, can we just burn it ceremonially?
[G Tablet General] luigic81:
well sorry to resurrect this thread lol

But I just installed the latest version of setcpu on my tab "2.1.1a" and I'm running caulkins rom with the latest clemsyn kernel.

I know we cant OC yet, but anything worth setting up in setcpu yet? min/max? profiles? etc?
[G Tablet General] vsc:
No. Nothing. The Nvidia kernel code ignores scheduler profiles, etc all in the name of their own optimization for power efficiency. And from what I can tell they do an excellent job of CPU clock and voltage management, as well as when to fire up the second core.

To be honest I have spent more than a few hours working to unravel their (mess) to enable overclocking, but the issue is made more complex by their efforts to minimize RF interference (e.g. EMC with respect to the tablet and receivers around the tablet)....

Perhaps a few words dropped here will help someone else. Turning up the max clock for the CPU SKU is ultimately vetoed by the EMC code and at times temperature management. An option is simply disabling much of this via conditionals that are present in the drivers. But in the end unless the CPU can be overclocked more than a minor amount, this is an overall waste of time as the net result is nothing more than benchmark bragging rights, etc.
[G Tablet General] h3llphyre:
The Xoom has been overclocked to 1.5Ghz, so there is quite a bit of headroom in there for overclocking.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
enjoy!

[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
For those of us who aren't familiar with the overclocking process, could someone please tell us which one of all those files to get and do what?
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
on the blog post? flash the file according to the OS version you have.

You'll want to grab either froyo (no _gb in filename) or gingerbread (_gb in filename), under ViewSonic Gtablet/Malata Zpad (first section of downloads).

then follow what it says regarding setcpu (making the proper selection in setcpu to get the frequencies).
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Holy carp! At least some some good news is coming in this week. This is big. Thanks pershoot :-)
[G Tablet General] Lisa21222:
Can't overclock CPU?

Obviously I did something wrong... I installed SetCPU as I would any other APK file. I then booted into recovery (Clockwork) and installed the kernel (zip) that had "gb" in the name as I am running the VeganTab Ginger Edition.

When I start SetCPU, I identify my device as "Tegra2" and approve permissions after verifying that the "Remember" box is checked.

I am being offered a maximum speed of 1000 and a minimum of 216. The slider (for the 1000) is as far to the right (high end) of the slider as it will go. I tried a reboot, and went throught he SetCPU options again, but I get the same result.

Can someone shoot some advice my way? I got the GPad from the Woot sale a few weeks back, and just ordered a "spare" from Amazon. I also have the Archos 70 350GB version and a Droid2, the FIRST of which I picked up in February, so I am still sort of new to Android, although I am not new to computers. Let's just say I pre-date Windows (which is why flashing the ROM didn't seem like a big deal... just like flashing a BIOS).
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
please read the blog post.

all instructions are there on how to attain the higher frequencies.
[G Tablet General] coolestmage:
You need to select custom under device instead of tegra 2. This will allow you to use the slots above 1ghz. Just open setcpu and then hit settings, device, then custom at the bottom of the list.
[G Tablet General] kraftwerksfit:
Looks like its a little buggy with all those error messages as known issues. Maybe we will see these overclock speeds being put into roms once its sorted?:D

Can anyone comment on how often they see the error messages if setcpu is left to overclock only as needed?

Hey Everyone!

For those of you who upgrade their Captivate earlier this week, I was wondering if you guys can help me out with this odd situation.

I was fiddling around my phone's camera (my phone is not rooted or anything), I came across a "firmware update" option in the settings menu.

I tried to update the firmware but it says "The requested item could not be found."

What is this firmware upgrade for? Is it going to the android market to for the upgrade?

Thanks and any help would be appreciated for a noob like me haha.
[General Questions and Answers] Scrawson:
Update?

Is there any benefit to having the newest camera firmware?

Are there any projects to make custom camera firmwares? Things like enabling reading sensor data and saving as raw to increase dynamic range are interesting to me.

I was wondering what other carriers i could use my tmo vibrant on.

Paying like 150 a month for wifes phone and mine. 700 min family plan

I wish it was possible to just get data since we dont use it for a phone

Hopeing somone might have some alternative ideas..
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
I've heard att 3g works on the vibrant. Any other carrier would probably only utilize edge.

You should call T-Mobile to see what plan you can get to. I had an old line I stopped using when my wife and I switched to a family plan. T-Mobile was able to drop my plan down to $10 a month for 20 minutes and no texts. It was still on contract, so this was better for me than paying an early termination fee.

I've Had my phone rooted, new Radio (Since Dec.) running latest LeeDroid.

Had my phone just the way i like everything,:D been very impressed with battery life over the past month with brilliant ROM updates.:)

Then randomly last week Wi-Fi usage shot up to the 60-90 mA level.

Why?:confused:

No new Rom had been installed for 2 weeks, so it wasn't that.

Wi-Fi off was 1-4 mA.

- I thought maybe its the applications I updated; Uninstalled all of them

Didn't work:confused:

- Maybe its fiddly settings like SYnc etc that have changed since App updates etc...

No settings had been altered.

- Maybe its a cache stats thing, I'll do a full wipe (Via CWM in Recovery Mode, select "Wipe Data/FactoryReset" option) and re-installed an even newer version of LeeDroid.

Still the battery drained 7-9 percent an hour on Standby(Screen Off).:confused:

1) Is it my router?

2) Is it a faulty WiFi part in the phone

3) What else besides the other two could it be?

i.e. - Battery was 60 percent with Wi-Fi on. -- Phone put into what appeared to be "Sleep Mode" (Pressing the power button once.)

-- 8 hours later battery was 15 percent!

Spare Parts showed "Time since Phone was in sleep" 8H

"Time since Wi-fi was in sleep" 8H.

Help greatly appreciated.

Have you checked the drain in other routers?? Check it in another place, friends house, work.. and see if its happening the same every where

I have tried it elsewhere and drain seems to be ok as far as i can recall. The problem is that even with my home router SOMETIMES there is no problem and drain seems normal.

So it's just a random thing but oh so annoying when it happens.

Thanks for trying to help though :)

Currently running Bionix 1.3.

I do know about Titanium Backup backing up and restoring apps.

Is there an app that can restore your "desktop"? When I flash a new ROM, I have to redo my "desktop".

Thanks for the info.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
As far as I'm aware this is only partially possible. Third party launchers like ADW Ex for instance, allow you to save settings, and this includes icon positions. What will not be restored properly are Widgets, and as I understand it this is an Android limitation.

On the flip side, I've grown so accustomed to flashing new roms I can now recreate my homescreen layout in a couple of minutes. Practice makes perfect? :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holeblocker:
ADW/LP all have desktop "restore" in their settings menu.

If you wanna save/restore the gblauncher/desktop from the Bionix defaults.

Use the option in the SGSTools App.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tophall32:
I am interested in this ability also. I assume you are talking about the SGS Tools program. I am d/l it right now. I'll let you know if it works.

I'm running Bionix v.

OK, It does NOT backup the settings from the ASOP Launcher.

Is there a program or a way that does backup/restore the ASOP launcher desktops.

Yea I figure you could just put the things he asked for in a meta morph and he can flash the theme, then the morphs.

I really want to take all of the different batteries and make a morph for each one and have a master list of all of them, we'd also do that for drop down/notification screen etc. then people can custom build their theme. If i were you, I'd just watch that youtube video - once i saw that, I knew exactly what was going on with the meta .zips and was easily able to create them. the app part on the phone is a no brainer.

The one thing I'm not sure of is if it can do the xml too, meaning for like the charging animation - because each one is different and wouldn't work properly without the corrected xml in stat_sys_battery_charge.xml so I will be looking into that too. It's said to be able to patch into .jar's so I would assume it would be just fine.
